Writing letters to yourself

mp500

I've just put some sheets of blank paper in an envelope addressed to myself and am about to go and post it. This is pretty much a complete waste of 80p but I suppose walking to the post box and counting how many days it takes to be delivered can help to break up the monotony of sitting here doing f- all every day with no one to talk to.

  • I'm sorry you are bored at home and that's why you wrote the letter... but actually writing the letter seems like a skill or something you could do - or a call to do some journalling. Perhaps you can write letters to people on death row? or get a penpal (now I really show my age! I think these things are online these days). Why not see if writing cna be your thing... blog writing is like a letter? 

    I hope you find some direction to break your monotony.

    Thanks.

    I should note that I don't actually write anything - I just send blank sheets. I know very few people, so seldom ever get letters or phone calls. Back in the "olden days" I used to look out of the window and try and predict when the postman would arrive and which route he would take. Of course he seldom came here. Posting the occasional envelope to myself served as a useful sanity check that the system works.

    I used to write a diary but have neglected it over the last 5 years or so. It got to a point where the only thing of note to write is "went to Tesco" and there's only so many times you can write that before it gets completely pointless.
